With the help of my super kind neighbor, I got to work today and was early to boot. I ran into my boss who told me she was worried I wouldn't make it because we are short staffed, so she was extremely happy to see me. We then had a chat about my epic shit of a month; car repeatedly breaking down, thyroid issues, breaking up with my bf, hospitalization, and now the rent and car at once.

I didn't think anything of it until she IMed me to ask if we could have a short meeting. So I met with her and she said she talked to her boss about me being a stellar employee who is having a rough time, and in an unexpected move they are granting me at least part of my bonus in my next paycheck!
